What Area Must Be Studied in the Transportation Impact Analysis?

Prior to determining the study area, the applicant must obtain City staff approval of the Trip Generation and Distribution Description (see above) for the proposed development. 

The Transportation Impact Analysis must include a comprehensive study of at least the following areas:

1. All proposed site access points to the public street system.
2. All roads and intersections along the frontage of the subject property.
3. Any road or intersection where the proposed development would be anticipated to generate more than 500 additional vehicle trips per day or more than 60 vehicle trips in a single hour.  If a two-way-stop-controlled intersection functions acceptably and the proposed development would add less than 50 trips per day on the minor leg, it need not be included by this criterion.
4. The route(s) trucks would use from the site to the arterial system must be identified for all developments and analyzed for truck travel if used for more than 10 truck trips per day.
5. Walking and cycling routes to transit stops within ¼ mile, parks and retail areas within ½ mile and, for residential developments, schools within 1 mile.
6. Any other areas where, in staff judgement, traffic study is needed to protect the public interest.
